Kinnersley Castle was one of the many Marches castles sited by the Normans along the Welsh border. Pevious residents include Sir Thomas Morgan, Baronet and Govenor of Jersey (1665)
Thomas Morgan — born in 1604, knighted in 1658, made a baronet in 1661 and dying in 1679
He was made governor of Jersey in 1665 and, although he was absent from duties for long periods in the 1670s, died at St Helier on 13 April 1679. His body was buried at St Martin-in-the-Fields, London.
In 1660 Kinnersley Castle was sold to the parliamentary general, Sir Thomas Morgan, whose descendants owned it until 1801. From that time the house passed through many hands and at the end of World War II the estate was broken up.
